"GHS--America's Best High Schools"

That's not just our opinion. U.S. News & World Report--in collaboration with School Evaluation Services (a K-12 data research and analysis business run by Standard & Poor's) analyzed academic and enrollment data from 21,069 public high schools to find the very best across the country. Of the 21,069 high schools analyzed 1,925 were identified as "America's Best High Schools." Gainesville was one of only 41 chosen in Missouri. This is two years in a row that Gainesville High School has received this honor. 

The Gainesville R-V School District is "fully accredited" and has A+ designation. Our campus is approximately 1.5 miles east of Gainesville in southwest Missouri between highways 160 and 181. The 61-acre campus includes the high school built in 1962, the junior high wing added in 1971, and the new elementary school completed in 1995.  The school district covers 339 square miles and serves several rural communities including Thornfield, Wasola, Tecumseh, and Pontiac.
